Not the Marrying Kind

let me borrow all your time
I'm gonna see you on the other side
I have taken a long time now
to get you to be mine
to get you
to get youuu
to get you to be mine
don't ask me to be your wife
I am not the marrying kind
don't ask me to say goodbye
I kinda like you
but if I was gonna marry someone
someone
I would wanna marry youuuuuuuuu
if Iiii
was gonna swear to love someone
I would swear to love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

not the kind
I like the more "rock" sound of this one--still sounds like you for sure but it's got a nicely guitaristic vibe and a great groove. Your vox are present and engaging as always, impossible to ignore!

Another Very Cool Track
I love the swirling, rising analog synth sounds. The tribal drum groove is also very cool. So much of your stuff presents women in such tough and almost intimidating contexts. It's very cool.

Having been happily married for over 30 years now, that most-likely should disqualify me from commenting on a song titled "Not the Marrying Kind" : )

In response to the message you left on one of my songs, it's taken me a while to get through your catalog here at Macjams. You've been terrifically prolific, posting lots of fine material, and I've enjoyed going through it. You have a great sense for conceiving song ideas - and then encapsulating the concept in a distinctive piece.

At first I wanted more from this effort. I thought you could've explored deeper the feelings leading to the conclusion that you weren't "the marrying kind." But then I listened closer - and heard the phrase that flips the idea on its head: I'm not ... but if I was ... it would be you. That's good writing!

The terms alternative rock and alternative music[1] were coined in the early 1980s to describe punk rock-inspired music genres which didn't fit into the mainstream genres of the time. At times it was used as catch-all phrase for rock music from under
